At first the thought of using my blog’s main column for advertising seemed almost sacrilegious. Then lo and behold, yesterday the Los Angeles Times caved to exactly this sort of journalistic iconoclasm. So why not join the trend? After all, I have an apartment to rent ASAP, and these are tough, recessionary times…
Considering a Large, 2br Place in the Echo Park Hills?
If not, you should be.
You’d enjoy coming home to this huge, split-level 2 bdrm/1.5 bath apartment with rustic canyon and city light views.
Situated in Echo Park’s hilltop Elysian Heights neighborhood, features include:
1,250+ square feet with generous closet space. (Like a small house.)
Fantastic views from living/dining area, bedrooms, balcony and entry landing.
Tastefully appointed with Bamboo flooring, contemporary and vintage fixtures, mini-blinds and upstairs carpeting.
Tiled baths and kitchen with full service porch, including laundry hookups (say goodbye to laundromats)!
Off-street garage parking for two cars, plus space for visitors and an 
easily accessible, small gated yard for relaxing or entertaining.
The apartment is in a well-maintained, mid-century duplex and is perfect for a couple, roommates, or even a single person looking for a large bedroom plus a home office, etc.
Water, trash and gardener paid by owner (me). You pay your remaining utilities.
About the Neighborhood
Historic Echo Park/Elysian Heights is one of L.A.’s best-kept secrets — diverse and casually trendy the way Silver Lake used to be, it’s especially popular with artists, creatives, musicians and media professionals.
- Highly desirable 90026 zip — a great, friendly neighborhood convenient to freeways, DASH and MTA lines, downtown and the heart of the Echo Park/Silver Lake scene.
- Coffee hangouts like Chango and Fix, as well as Delilah’s Bakery and several boutique shops are within walking distance.
- Dining and clubbing along Sunset Blvd. is also close by, along with shopping, hiking at Elysian Park and games at Dodger Stadium.
- Just a quick jaunt east down Sunset and you’re at Chinatown, the Music Center, downtown galleries or Olvera Street. To the west, you’ll find Silver Lake, Griffith Park, Los Feliz and Hollywood equally quick and accessible. Need to visit Atwater or Glendale? They’re just minutes north.
All in all, you’ll find this apartment an exceptional place to live, if I do say so myself. (The badly taken photos really don’t do it justice…)
- Available as early as May 1.
- $2,175/month, minimum 6-month lease. First month rent plus deposit moves you in. Pets considered with an additional deposit.
